We ran an add on your site. Someone replied to it and ended up sending us a cheque for 6980.00 and our animals were only 2700.00 they wanted us to send the money on with the trucker. However I read your scam page so I was on to them. I took all there emails and there cheque to the RCMP. The cheque was no good and there is an ongoin investigation lauched by the bank in the US. Fell free to contact me if you need more info.

Hello
My name is Kerry Pilkey, I had a horse advertised on our site October 2006. A person by the name of Paul James repplied to the add wanted to buy the horse and said I should mark him as sold. I was asking $2000 for the horse. He sent a cashiers check for $5500 and wanted the us to deduct our money from it and wire the rest to his horse hauler.
We held the money to see if the check cleared and it turned out to be fraud. There is no harm done but I just wanted to notify you.
P.S. I have sold horses on your website and have always been happy with results.
 
Thanks Kerry
